Don't do that.
The Cs are punched individually, so they can be at different heights or rotations. What bugs me about the OP coin is the blurry detail on the...
It's graded by PCGS, not SGS. The toning premium was about 30%.
Some of the James I gold that's on that page is pretty cool. This half laurel is particularly stunning. [IMG]
The gold set might do well. If there's demand for it in the UK beyond the 500 piece allotment, then that'll put pressure on the US sales. I'll...

There are two parameters of the light that you need to be aware of: brightness and contrast. Different coins have different requirements for how...

The shady bits aren't so much that they're being authenticated, it's how they came to be in the first place. It doesn't rise to the level of the...
I just took a look at this on the VAM 3BV page. It doesn't refer to the coin in the Smithsonian being a Chapman proof, but says that the obverse...
Heck of a find!
There are many 17 berry (D1) reverse dies -- over 100, I think. One each was used for Chapman proofs and the "Zerbe proofs." They were most...
It would need to have been struck from the correct dies for starters. It was not. It would also need to look like a proof strike. It does not....
Separate names with a comma.
